Would be good if he could inform the faithful of what those principles are and what his philosophy regarding the game really is because it has not come through in the last nine games? Either he is not coming across clear enough to the players or like most changing rooms at every level there is the usual handful who think they know it all already?

I think it's clear what Joe is trying to do. flowing football which is good to watch to bring the crowds back.

He obviously knows there are not the players capable of doing this already there hence the volume of loan players to see which can perform to his plan.

The 'dead wood' as we call it will be moving on in due course, I can't see anyone coming in to buy them so it's waiting until their contract expires.

The rot goes back to Boothroyd I feel, remember how shocking the play was then. At least Ward tried to play more but became too negative or 'safe'

I know it hurts at the moment, no one likes to see our team lose, and it will take time to get it right.

Modern attitudes of players don't help. I was always told to do what my manager asked, now it's all about massaging fragile temprements.

Keep the faith, after all, Joe is 'one of us'. i for one think and hope he will turn this round and we can all look forward to a rosy future, success and good football.

Good post, I share your optimism but we need something to happen and soon. If I were boss I would chuck the youngsters in now, it works for me and the olden's either perk up or p off? I know people are going to say that we will still have to pay them but in the short term it will sort the wheat out from the chaff and we will see who truly wants it at the club.

The Players are letting Joe and the club down, more effort and lets have more long range shots, colu don't seem to pressure defences or keepers......more shots please! Keep playing football JD and the results will change.
